Folks,

  Is there a simple way/query in bacula to prune/delete a full backup and it's 
subsequent incremental backups?

Here is what I am trying to do:

I backup data to tape and disk.

Run full backup to tape and then again to the disk on 1st friday of the month, 
run incremental backup on other days. I only want to keep previous one month's 
backups on disk. 

Example:
  Backup first month to the disk
  Backup second month to the disk
  Before backing up third month delete all backups of the first month.

  I have set retention period on the disk pools to 2 months, but that will not 
remove all the backup jobs for the first month at same time.
